    Welcome to mass surveillance. It is not illegal if it is in the name of crime stopping. Whats worse is that Australia has laws that require companies to back door everything.

      Worth clarifying that it requires individuals to insert backdoors if told to, it’s not a blanket backdoor and frankly I’d be shocked if it held up in the high court.

      Nothing ever makes it there though, and it’s full of baked in secrecy. I don’t use local or US services for anything where privacy is important for that reason.

      Good thing Australia doesn’t have electronic voting, hey?
